After Qingdeng and Xinzuma got into a stance and faced off, almost all the spectators who realized that the two would decide the winner in the next blow had solemn expressions on their faces and stared intently at the field. All the movements.
Especially the people in the Trial Guard Hall, their faces now showed more or less nervousness.
Just now, when he saw that Qingden could make such significant progress in such a short period of time, Chiba Eijiro also had a look of astonishment on his face.
After seeing the two people on the field raising their swords in different postures and confronting each other from a distance, Chiba Eijiro, like the others, the look of surprise on his face turned into a look of solemnity.
Qingto has given Chiba Eijiro too many surprises since yesterday.
At this moment, Chiba Eijiro couldn't help but concentrate, couldn't help but become curious, couldn't help but look forward to it - looking forward to whether this young man, who was only 9 years younger than him, could bring him something else. surprise.
A moment is short, only enough for a person to blink once.
But a moment is very long, and it is enough to determine the outcome of a swordsmanship competition!
Without any warning, when many people were anxiously wondering how long the two men would face off in the arena, the new wife started to move!
At almost the same moment, the fine white gravel under Qingden's feet was kicked away!
The two men shot out almost at the same time, raising the tension in the audience to a whole new level.
The distance between Qingteng and Ninzuma was only 5 or 6 steps. For the two people who were rushing towards each other, this was just a fleeting distance.
However, at this moment of lightning and flint! Just when the shadows of Qingdeng and Xizumakuan were about to merge into one on the ground! Invisible auras suddenly escaped from Qingdeng's body, Then it pressed down on the new wife Kuan like a stormy wave!
This sudden change made almost everyone in the martial arts gallery who had considerable attainments in swordsmanship suddenly change their expressions!
Those who do not understand swordsmanship or have low levels of swordsmanship may not be able to feel or understand what these invisible auras are escaping from Qingdeng's body at this time.
But people like Eijiro Chiba and others who have achieved some success in swordsmanship know very well what this is!
In an instant, the expressions on the faces of many spectators in the spectator seats showed various changes.
Chiba Sadayoshi, Chiba Tamonshiro, who had some trouble with Aoto, as well as Saito Yakuro and Momoi Haruzo, who were not acquainted with Aoto, showed the purest shock.
Zhousuke, who usually had his eyes squinted, now widened his eyes.
Okita, Kondo, and Hijikata looked in disbelief.
Chiba Eijiro's pupils shrank suddenly.
Chiba Jutaro, who has always been full of emotions and expressive, opened his mouth so much that his jaw seemed to be about to drop to the ground.
Sanako, who had been calm just now and didn't seem to care much about the changes in the competition, now once again lost the elegant posture of a well-known lady.
She was like yesterday, with her hands overlapping each other, her small bare hands on her legs clenched tightly, her plump red lips slightly opened into a cute "O" shape, and her dazed eyes made her look dumb.
The light in her beautiful eyes was far more shocking than yesterday.
…
…
The feeling of hitting the helmeted head of the new wife is very satisfying.
If Qingteng had used a real sword and Nitsuma Kuan wasn't wearing a helmet... then it wouldn't have been as simple as Nitsuma Kuan being knocked to the ground. I'm afraid that Nitsuma Kuan's entire head would have been chopped off.
[Ding! Scanned talent!]
When he knocked Kuan Nitsuma to the ground with one blow, a mechanical and cold system sound came as expected.
[Successfully copied talent: "Swordsmanship Sword Master"]
[Introduction to talent: The increase in swordsmanship talent is 8 times the average level of ordinary people]
[Ding! It has been detected that the host already has the same type of talent]
[Ding! Start talent fusion]
[Ding! "Excellent Swordsman" and "Sword Master" begin to merge]
[Please wait a moment, host...Please wait a moment, host...]
[Ding! Talent fusion successful]
["Sword Talent" ability promotion]
[Introduction to the talent of "Sword Talent": The increase in swordsmanship talent is 70 times the average level of ordinary people]
——As expected, he is another "little master in swordsmanship"...
At the beginning of the finals, Ainoto predicted that Morishita, Oizaki, and others were among the "Three Heroes" and were also known as "geniuses", and that there was a high probability that he also had the talent of a "swordsman"
.
Now it seems that Qingdeng really guessed it right.
After listening to the system sound in his mind, Qingdeng couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Compared with these talents that can improve his martial arts ability, Qingdeng currently wants the kind of talents that can directly transform his body and make his body stronger instantly.
For example, Qingdeng currently has the "Eagle Eye" that can improve dynamic vision, and the "Cat Turn" that can improve body balance... What he wants now is this kind of talent that can directly transform body functions.
Anyway, it would be good if the "Sword Talent" could be upgraded again... Qingden put away this little regret in his heart, then slowly put down the bamboo sword in his hand, and turned to look at the two referees next to him.
In this extremely fierce final, the winner is finally decided!
The two referees stretched their arms toward Qingteng at the same time, and then used all their strength to shout at the loudest volume they could:
"The winner - Tachibana Aoden!"
Wow——! Wow——! Wow——!
As soon as the referees finished speaking, waves of noisy sounds burst out from the spectator seats!
Countless people spontaneously cheered and celebrated Qingdeng's success in winning the competition.
Listening to the cheers pouring in from all directions, Qingdeng let out a long breath. While relaxing his tense muscles that were still in a fighting state, he slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a relieved smile.
After two days of fighting, he finally won the championship in this competition!
Even with Qingdeng's humble nature, he couldn't help but feel excited and proud of this small achievement he had achieved.
He turned his eyes and subconsciously looked at his companions on the martial arts table.
Qingto originally thought that Shusuke, Kondo, Okita and others would be full of joy at this time.
But after looking over, he saw expressions on their faces that Qingdeng... didn't understand.
Zhou Zhu and the others indeed showed joy on their faces.
However, their eyes were filled with extremely strong feelings of shock.
Qingden took a closer look and found that it was not just Shusuke and the others who were like this. Chiba Sadayoshi, Chiba Jutaro and others who led the Xuanbu Hall and Xiao Chiba Sword Hall and were sitting next to their trial defense hall also showed this.
A strange expression.
——Huh? I defeated Hiroshi Arizuma and won the competition. Is it that shocking?
Qingdeng frowned in confusion.
If the cheers around him are like sweet candies that make Qingdeng smile with joy...then these cheers are like sharp knives that pierce into Xin Zumakuan, who is still lying on the ground.
It hit his ears and pierced his heart.
I lost……?
The new wife's unfocused eyes stared blankly at the bright sunlit sky.
Today is a sunny day, and the sunshine is quite warm, but Xizuma Kuan feels that her body is extremely cold, and the sunshine hits her body, and she cannot feel the slightest warmth.
What was that... just now?
Nitsuma Kuan, whose eyes slowly returned to focus, recalled with horror the moment when Qingteng suddenly seemed to have changed into a different person——
Because he was facing Qingdeng directly and very close to Qingdeng, he could clearly feel the strange aura escaping from Qingdeng's body.
With the blessing of the field, Qingdeng's temperament suddenly changed!
At that moment, Nitsuma Kuan felt as if there was a towering mountain in front of him, with its peaks reaching into the sky!
But his new wife, Kuan, was so small and humble, standing at the foot of this huge mountain.
As for Qingdeng, he stood on the highest peak of the mountain, looking down at him like a king who could only stay at the foot of the mountain...
The mountain was so high and huge that the new wife couldn't help but feel dizzy for a moment due to the shock, and her heart seemed to have skipped a beat.
Hiroshi Shinzuma studied under the "Saito of Power" Saito Yakuro. A long time ago, he had heard from Saito Yakuro about various advanced concepts in martial arts.
Could it be that?!
A terrible conjecture emerged from the mind of the new wife Kuan.
Impossible! Impossible!
The new wife Kuan let out a loud roar in her heart like crazy.
At his age and at his current level, he shouldn't have reached that level!
Her breathing quickly became rapid, and the heavy new wife struggled to get up from the ground on her hands and knees.
"Wait, wait! Please wait a moment! Please wait a moment!"
Even though she was wearing a protective helmet, after receiving the blow from Qingdeng, the powerful impact still shook the new wife's head and made her dizzy, and waves of vomiting continued to rise in her throat.
between.
But even so, Nitsuma Kuan still endured the discomfort and tried to stand firm while holding the bamboo sword.
"What are you going to do?" A certain referee frowned and cast an unkind look at Shinzuma Kuan.
Now like a gambler whose eyes are red from gambling, Nitsuma Kuan stared at his bloodshot eyes and shouted in a hoarse voice:
"Please allow me to compete with Tachibana Aoden again! I was careless just now! If we compete again, I will never lose again!"
"Young man, you have already lost." Another referee said calmly, "Calm down a little. You look like you can't afford to lose. It's really embarrassing. Since you are a warrior, you must have the most basic sense of shame.
Heart."
However, faced with the referee's kind reminder, Xin Zukuan remained unyielding: "Please give me another chance! I..."
"That's enough!" The referee, who cast an unkind look at Nitsuma Kuan after he yelled "Wait a minute," impatiently interrupted Nitsuma Kan's words, "One final advice: Stop messing around.
Got it!"
Nitsuma Kuan's left hand that was naturally hanging down suddenly clenched into a fist, and the right hand holding the sword also tightly grasped the hilt of the bamboo sword.
Unwilling to give up, he wanted to say something more.
But at this time, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of: the Aizu feudal lords who were responsible for maintaining order around the arena, noticed the commotion caused by him on the arena, and turned to look at him with vigilant glances.
sight.
Some people have even raised their left hands, pressed the sheath of the knife on their waist, and moved their feet slightly towards the direction of the field, looking like they were ready to rush onto the field at any time.
Hiroshi Niizuma raised his eyes and scanned the faces of the more than 20 Aizu feudal lords standing around the arena one by one.
Hesitation and unwillingness repeatedly pulled at the new wife's wide cheeks.
The left hand that was clenched into a fist and the right hand that was holding the sword were both white-knuckled from exerting too much force.
Finally - his tightly clenched left fist slowly loosened...
Immediately afterwards, he looked like a defeated rooster, his head drooped in front of his chest, and his face was as pale as a dead person...
At this moment, the new wife Kuan suddenly felt severe pain in her head!
He let out a low cry of pain, then subconsciously raised his hand to support his head, but because he still hadn't taken off his protective gear, his hand only reached his helmet.
This severe pain made Xin Zukuan feel as if his head was about to burst, and it went away as quickly as it came.
In just a few breaths, the intense pain slowly dissipated.
However, just as the sudden pain dissipated, Nitsuma Kan felt that the highly concentrated concentration he had gained by taking strange drugs also disappeared along with the pain...
Immediately afterwards, Nitsuma Kuan began to feel that his body temperature was rising significantly, and strong dizziness hit his brain one after another...
…
…
The joyful atmosphere that permeated the martial arts viewing seats could not dissipate for a long time.
For most of the spectators at the scene, this swordsmanship competition was truly a feast for the eyes! Various unexpected and wonderful twists appeared one after another!
"Huh..." The owner of a small sword hall sighed, then raised his gaze and looked at the Shiwei Guan and others sitting not far away from him, "The Shiwei Guan is so lucky... unexpectedly... Found such an extraordinary genius..."
At this moment, many people were casting envious or jealous looks at Qing Deng on the field and the people from the Trial Guard Hall headed by Zhou Zhu in the spectator seats.
Anyone who can think normally knows that after this competition, Qingdeng will become famous again!
Before the competition started, many people thought that Qingden and the "Three Heroes" were at most close to each other, and how many people thought that when they fought, it would definitely be a fierce battle between dragons and tigers.
However, the facts now presented to them have slapped all of them hard in the face!
In this competition, Qingden happened to have played against each of the "Three Heroes".
Thanks to this, Qingdeng was able to tell everyone with his actual record: None of the "Three Heroes" are his opponents!
From the first game after the official start of the competition, Aoto showed his absolute strength to crush the same period. No matter who faced him, who was second only to the "Three Heroes" Adachi, who among the "Three Heroes" Morishita and Oizaki were all killed instantly by Qingto with one sword strike.
After Seitō made it to the finals with overwhelming momentum, as Seitō's opponent in the finals, Niizuma Kan suddenly showed extraordinary strength and finally became the first and last person in this competition who did not win at the beginning of the battle. The one who was instantly killed by Qing Deng.
But he didn't last long with his new wife.
At the beginning of the final, Nitsuma Hiroshi and Ayono were evenly matched, but just a few minutes later, Ayoto relied on his overwhelming talent advantage to quickly suppress Nitsuma Kan and defeat him.
From today on, there is no doubt that Aoshinobu's reputation will surpass that of the "Three Heroes" and become the most watched newcomer in the Edo swordsmanship world!
While everyone was sighing that Edo had another swordsman with great talent, they also felt envious or jealous of the Imperial Guard Hall that had such a talent.
All the games have been played and the champion has been decided. There is only one last link left in this swordsmanship competition: award the prize to the swordsman who won the championship!
The person in charge of awarding the awards is the person who hosted the competition - Aizu Hou Matsudaira Yoshiho!
Aoto took off his protective gear and temporarily handed over his bamboo sword to a certain Aizu Domain official for safekeeping. Under the leadership of the old master of ceremonies, he walked unhurriedly towards the crowd of people gathered step by step. Walking to the "VIP booth" of various feudal lords.
Matsudaira Yongho had stood up at this time and looked quietly at Qingteng who was taking the stage.
When he was only a short distance away from Matsudaira Yongho, Qingden couldn't help but raise his eyes and quickly glanced at Matsudaira Yongho's face.
After taking a closer look, Aoto realized that the man in front of him, who was famous and known as the "Pillar of the Shogunate", was really young. If he were to stand next to Aoto, no one else would recognize him.
Which one of them is younger?
Under the leadership and instructions of the master of ceremonies, Qingbo stopped in front of Matsudaira Yongho, and then in accordance with the rules, he knelt on one knee and bowed to salute the young feudal lord in front of him.
Matsudaira Yongho lowered his eyes and stared at Qingden. His face, which was usually expressionless of emotions and anger, actually showed a slight smile at this moment: "...You are very outstanding. I am very surprised by your performance. I hope you can
If you can continue your efforts, you will achieve higher and further achievements in martial arts."
Matsudaira Yongho didn't have too many long talks with Qingnobo. After only saying such a simple encouragement to Qingnobo, he stretched out his hand and took the championship prize of this competition from the person next to him:
10 gold-valued sandalwood disks were handed to Qingdeng.
Qingden expressed his thanks loudly, raised his hands, and took the reward he deserved from Matsudaira Yongho.
Strange to say, for some reason, a strange feeling emerged in Qingto's heart at this moment - he vaguely felt that he would have a chance to meet this unsmiling young feudal lord again in the future.
…
…
As Qingdenbai received his share of the championship reward, this two-day swordsmanship competition finally came to an end!
The dignitaries on the "VIP table" were the first to leave in an orderly manner.
After the figures of the daimyo, led by Matsudaira Yōho, completely disappeared from everyone's sight, the spectators in the spectator seats could finally leave one after another.
Qingdeng returned to his companions with the reward he had received.
As soon as he met Zhou Zhu and the others, Qingdeng discovered that the intense look of shock in Zhou Zhu and the others' eyes had not dissipated until now.
Qingdeng couldn't help but frown: "Master, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so surprised?"
As soon as Qingto finished speaking, he saw Okita jumping up and down in front of Qingto, and then he glanced at Qingto with a strange look on his face: "Tachibana-kun... you don't know what you just did on the field.
What happened?"
"Huh?" Qingdeng was stunned, "What did I do?"
"...It seems that you released it unconsciously." Zhousuke twitched the corner of his mouth and showed a wry smile, "Tachibana-kun, you just showed your 'power' when you were dueling with that new wife!"
